Roosevelt Dimes

﻿

From 1946 through 1964 Roosevelt Dimes were comprised of 90% silver and 10% copper. Beginning in 1965 the coin composition was changed to approximately 92% copper and 8% nickel. The design on the coin has remained unchanged for over 70 years, with a portrait of Franklin D Roosevelt on the obverse and a grouping of a torch, oak branch and olive branch on the reverse.
